They are joined in the quarter-finals by group runners-up Korea DPR, who showed the resilience as defending champions to overcome an opening defeat to England and earn crucial victories over Mexico and Brazil.

We will run and run and do our best to get the championship. I’m quite satisfied with the way we are playing right now. If we are able to go on like this, we will be able to win the title.
